I'm Gonna Get Me A Gun

According to All Things Considered yesterday, gun and ammunition sales have skyrocketed since Obama's election. And the purchases have been made by people whose vote counts as much as mine.

This is the equivalent of our man Tom Fulery winning his 1988 grade school mock-election for Dukakis on the promise that Bush 1 wanted year-round school. Apparently, gun seizures go hand-in-hand with a socialist agenda. (And, apparently, the freedom-socialism line is drawn somewhere between 35% and 39.6%.)

The Turdlog doesn't typically deride other citizens' concerns, but I really think this is real-world evidence of a highly skewed understanding of what the 2008 presidential election was really about. Your faithful 'Dlogger will eat his hat if it becomes substantially harder to purchase a gun because of any legislation passed by President Obama.
